you can call this the obama clinton doctrine because president obama said repeatedly, i believe in a smarter kind of u.s. leadership where we combine military power with other kinds of leveraging around certain legal norms. now, why do i mention this? to trump doctrine is the opposite. instead of engaging, disengage. america first. instead of translating rules of law to modern situations, say there are no rules of law. it's a black hole. the u.s. acts based on its national interests, not rule. there is little or no leverage, no diplomatic engagement strategy and the rule of law is rarely mentioned. now, it is a little much to call this a strategy while we wait asked over the last few years now is daily impulses. but they push in that particular direction wherever possible reverse obama, reverse with hillary clinton would have done. if you have to exercise power, do it in an isolationist way. hard power is preferred preferred. withdraw from global leadership, undermine international institutions and when challenged, make extreme claims of presidential power and judicial deference. to

that trend dates back as the son says makes clear to the clinton years when the black voter wa was -- black voter turnouts began steadily increasing in the other point to make here is that it's not only do most democrats and republicans and men and women and conservatives and liberals support voter i.d., so do most black americans in polls. so the president is out there telling black people who support voter i.d. and the majority of blacks in a number of polls taken in recent years have shown us. he's telling them that republicans are not interested in ballot integrity. they are only interested in suppressing their vote and my point is that given these voter trends and get a nice turnout transit if republicans are trying to suppress the black vote they are doing a pretty bad job given voter turnout among blacks occurred and also one of those you mention the statistics and for some of us just it -- strictest voter i.d. laws in the country. >> host: some question why do this voter i.d.? you say it is reminiscent an up is reminiscent an up or months for for procedures in the past when it

ross hillary clinton would be an excellent president you said. she's prepared to do the job but in a recent poll north carolinians by a double-digit margin, they found donald trump more honest and trustworthy than hillary clinton so my question to you is simply why do you think so many north carolinians simply do not trust hillary clinton? ross: i have great faith in the people of north carolina and i have been all over this state. politics is a rough business and it's very difficult to always get the traction that you are looking for. one thing i can tell you is that hillary hudson is prepared to be commander in chief from day one. donald trump has demonstrated particularly this week that he is singularly not qualified to be our commander-in-chief. on the national security fund we have talked about having russia hacked our computer systems and using nuclear weapons and it's very disturbing to me what we have learned about these tapes. senator burr s..by donald trump during all of this and i think that shows a lack of judgment. what i want to do

then under the first president george bush and president clinton. this change is not only because. it's to keep the issue on the front pages and off the evening news. that was their sole focus. they wanted to bury the issue. the media was very good, and i must say that as the killing went on, people got angrier and angrier in the united states. now, alternately with turned the tide is that finally there were enough votes in the senate to override the administration veto so it wasn't anyone's persuasion but it was the raw political power in congress who override the veto. they knew that if they didn't act they would have to provide arms and they were better off so they did. we ended up at a peace agreement and so forth. now on ukraine that i was trying to say about ukraine is think geostrategic lay. it is possible in this crisis but a moment may come when for all that you've done and no matter what you do it will be something out of your control that will change the course of history and what happens in this area and my guess is that is coming and that it will be driven by ukraine.
